Problem
Error message from amcheck(8) command:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: SystemA.local:/ does not support DUMPER-API. ERROR: SystemA.local: [BOGUS REQUEST PACKET] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.014 seconds, 1 problem found
Solution
The program parameter in the dumptype configuration for the client "SystemA.local" is not "GNUTAR" or "DUMP". This value is case-sensitive.
